PREFACE
NEW:Update 96, hosted by Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL) in Los Alamos New Mexico,
October 27 -30, 1996, marked the our first workshop west of the Mississippi. The new venue, high
in the mountains, coupled with a quality event, provided an excellent launching &our second decade
of workshops. As in the past we built themes, activities, and presentations based on extensive
evaluations from participants of previous workshops. This I lth annual NEW:Update continued to
follow the theme of strengthening materials education. About 120 participants witnessed
demonstrations of experiments, discussed issues of materials science and engineering (MS&E) with
people from education, industry, government, and technical societies, heard about new MS&E
developments, and chose from nine, three-hour mini workshops in state-of-the-art LANL laboratories
to attend. Faculty in attendance represented high schools, community colleges, smaller colleges, and
major universities. Undergraduate and graduate students also attended and presented.
The generous fashion in which Don Parkin, Director of LANL's Center for Materials Science, and
the many scientist, engineers, and other staff, provided funding, opened their facilities, developed
presentations and activities, and acted as all around gracious hosts which insured the on-going quality
of this important educational series of workshops.
Professor Xavier Spiegel, representing the American Society for Engineering Education's (ASEE)
Materials Division, presented a special award from ASEE in recognition to Dr. Parkin for his and
LANL's valuable contributions to MS&E education. The overwhelming success of NEW:Updates
results, in a large measure, from the considerable work and sacrifices of the host agencies: Oak Ridge
National Laboratory (ORNL), National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), National
Aeronautics and Space Administrations (NASA) Langley Research Center, Norfolk State University
(NSU), and now LANL.
NEW:Update 96 participants saw the demonstration of about forty experiments and aided in
evaluating them. We also heard updating information relating to materials science, engineering and
technology presented as mini plenary sessions that focused on technology from LANL. Among these
sessions a special emphasis was placed on hydrogen as a sub theme for the workshop; portions of
that phase of the workshop were broadcast over the lntemet. Additionally, a panel of materials
educators provided updates on various curricula and pedagogical innovations.
The experiments in this publication can serve as a valuable guide to faculty who are interested in
useful activities for their students. The material was the result of years of research aimed at better
methods of teaching materials science, engineering and technology. The experiments were developed
by faculty, scientists, and engineers throughout the United States. There is a blend of experiments
on new materials and traditional materials. Uses of computers in MS&E, designing experiments, and
a variety of low-cost experiments were among the demonstrations presented.
Experiments underwent an extensive peer review process. After submission of abstracts, selected
authors were notified of their acceptance and given the format for submission of experiments.
Experiments were reviewed by a panel of specialists through the cooperation of the Materials
Education Council. Authors received comments from the panel prior to NEW:Update 96, allowing
them to make necessary adjustments prior to demonstrating their experiments. Comments from
workshop participants provided additional feedback which authors used to make final revisions which
were submitted for the NASA editorial group for this publication.

The Materials Education Council of the United States publishes selected experiments in the Journal
of Materials Education (JME). The JME offers valuable teaching and curriculum aids including
instructional modules on emerging materials technology, experiments, book reviews, and editorialsto materials educators.
Videotapes were made of the workshop by LANL. Transparency masters for the mini plenary
sessions are included in this publication. As with previous NEW:Updates, critiques were made of
the workshop to provide continuing improvement of this activity. The evaluationsand
recommendations made by participants provide valuable feedback for the planning of subsequentNEW:Updates.
NEW:Update 96 and the series of workshops that go back to 1986 are, to our knowledge, the only
national workshops or gatherings for materials educators that have a focus on the full range of issues
on strategies for better teaching about the full complement of materials. Recognizing the problem
of motivating young people to pursue careers in MSE, we have included exemplary pre-universityactivities such as Adventures in Science, ASM International Education Foundation's Career Outreach
Program, Engineers for Education, National Teachers Institute for Materials Science and Technology,and several programs run through high schools.
NEW:Update 96, with its diversity of faculty, industry, and government MSE participants, served
as a forum for both formal and informal issues facing MSE education that ranged from the challenges
of keeping faculty and students abreast of new technology to ideas to ensure that materials scientists,
engineers, and technicians maintain the proper respect for the environment in the pursuit of theirobjectives.
We hope that the experiments presented in this publication will assist you in teaching about materials
science, engineering and technology. We would like to have your comments on their value and
means of improving them. Please send comments to James A. Jacobs, School of Technology, NorfolkState University, Norfolk, Virginia 23504.
The alpha version of a CD-ROM with over 200 experiments from past NEW:Updates was
demonstrated by Stuart Pendelton of NASA's Technology Applications Group at the workshop.
Please contact Jim Jacobs for ordering details if you wish to obtain a copy.
We express our appreciation to all those who helped to keep this series of workshops viable. Special
thanks goes to those on the planning committee, management team, hosts, sponsors, and especially
those of you have developed and shared your ideas for experiments, demonstrations, and novel
approaches to learning.

LOS ALAMOS NATIONAL LABORATORY
MINI WORKSHOPS
TUESDAY, OCTOBER 292:00 - 5:00 P.M.
I. A FUNDAMENTAL APPROACH TO ION BEAM ANALYSIS - Joe Tesmer
Everyone learns fundamental principles such as conservation of momentum, or electrostatics such as Coulomb forces and
Rutherford scattering in school. Unfortumtely, these underlying principles are seldom evident in real-world applications.
lon beam nmtefials analysis uses direct applications of ninny fundamental physics principles to solve real-world problems
in materials science. This workshop will stress the links between the analytic techniques and the basics as a way to see theusefulness of learning the fundamentals. The workshop will include approximately one hour lecture and two hours of hands-on demonstration.
2. PROBING MAGNETIC AND ELECTRICAL STRUCTURALLY CONTROLLED PROPERTIES BY SCANNINGPROBE MICROSCOPIES - Marilyn Hawley
Scamfing probe nficroscopies are widely being used to evaluate not o_fly topographic features, but property-structure
relationships in electronic and magnetic materials. These nmterials include diamond films, nmgnetic tapes, and colossal
magneto-resistive films. The power of the nmgnetic and electric force nficroscopes will be demonstrated on these
technologically important nmterials and will include chemical potential variations, strain induced nmgnetic domains, and grainboundary effects.
3. LOS ALAMOS ELECTRON MICROSCOPY FACILITIES - Harriet Kung
Electron microscopy is a broad term used to cover many specialized techniques that define an image either by passingelectrons through a material (e.g. transmission electron microscopy, TEM), or by scattering electrons off the surface of a
material (e.g. scalming electron microscopy, SEM). With the new generation of electron microscopes, researchers can look
at the chemistry and structure of nmterials at the atomic level. Electron microscopy is a vital characterization tool for
relating material structure and chemistry to synthesis, processing and properties of materials, and has become a key part of
materials science research. Workshop participants will be shown the LANL electron microcopy facility and examples ofLANL electron microscopy capabilities.
4. SUPERCONDUCTIVITY TECHNOLOGY CENTER - Dean Peterson
Research and development activities directed towards applications of high temperature superconductors will be reviewed for
participants. Demonstrations will include magnetic levitation, disappearance of electric resistance, and transport current
measurements. Approaches to successfully synthesizing these new oxide superconductors in the laboratory will also be
discussed. The status of ongoing collaborations with industrial partners to develop superconducting wires, magnetic
separators, motors, Ix_wer transmission cables, current limiters, magnetic sensors, and other applicatiolts are to be presentedduring the workshop.
5. SURFACE MODIFICATION FOR TRIBOLOGICAL APPLICATIONS - Michael Nastasi
Modern technology depends on materials with precisely controlled properties. For example, surface and near-surface
properties are of prime consideration for integrated circuits and tribological applications. The properties of surfaces and
near-surface regions nmy be modified through several techniques, including ion implantation and coatings. In this workshop,surface modification coating capabilities at LANL will be demonstrated, producing a sample with a modified surface region.This sample will then be tested to characterize the friction and wear properties of the modified surface.

HYDROGEN MINI WORKSHOPS
6. ENGINEERING MATERIALS FOR HYDROGEN SEPARATION - T. S. Moss and R. S. Dye
The use of hydrogen gas has become more imlx_rtant in recelu years to a variety of high technology areas, such as
microelectronics, ferrous and nonferrous metals processing, chemical and polymer synthesis, and petrochemical processing.
Further, the steady depletion of limited-resource fossil fuels, such as light crudes and matural gas, and the associated pollution
problems have made hydrogen-based energy systems more attractive. As such, the production of pure hydrogen gas for usein these areas has become more important.
In this workshop, the purification of hydrogen gas from impure feed streams using high temperature membranes will be
examined. The fundamental differences in the way that hydrogen interacts with metals will be demonstrated. From these
differences, we will be able to explain how one can design and engineer a membrane to exploit the advantageous properties
of multiple materials into a composite structure with superior performance. One will gain hands-on experience with flow
rate determination, gas analysis with nmss spectrometry, and observe structural changes in metals due to hydrogen by x-raydiffraction.
7. HYDROGEN FUEL CELLS FOR UTILITY AND TRANSPORTATION APPLICATIONS - Shimshon Gottesfeld
To achieve high perfi_rmance and high energy efficiency, hydrogen fuel cells depend critically on materials properties. Forthe intensively developed polymer electrolyte fuel cell, some key materials are:
a) a polymeric membrane of high protonic conductivity and chemical stabilityb) a well designed thin film catalyst
c) hardware materials required to maintain high bulk surface conductivity underconditions
demanding cell operating
Polymer electrolyte fuel cells and their components will be discussed, highlighting key nmterials issues.
8. MATERIALS FOR HYDRIDE-BASED BATTERIES - Ricardo Schwarz
Until recently, apart from the lead-acid battery, the nickel/cadnfium battery had the lions share of the rechargeableelectrochemical energy storage system nmrket. Because of environmental concerns related to the toxicity of cadmium, the
cadmium electrode is being replaced by the metal hydride electrode. Nickel/metal hydride batteries have an additionaladvantage of a slightly higher energy density storage.
The positive nickel hydroxide electrode, conunon to both the nickel/cadmium and the nickel/metal hydride electrode, hasbeen studied for many years and is the positive electode of choice in most batteries. The consensus is that little can be done
to improve the nickel electode. The metal hydride electode, however, requires further study and improvement. In the
nickel/metal hydride battery, the metal hydride electrode operates in concentrated KOH. The main problem with thiselectrode relates to the loss of hydrogen storage capacity with cyclic hydrogen charging/discharging which is thought to be
caused by the corrosion of the hydride material in the KOH. The workshop will review the fundamentals of the hydride
battery and the current efforts at la_s Alamos and elsewhere for improving the performance of the metal hydride electrode.
